Hi All Yes, I also don't think that banning them is the solution, but it does achieve one thing: it gives legal weight to a university's actions. It's one thing having a university rule that says students are not allowed to use them, but, if they are considered illegal, that will give universities greater clout. (The danger, though, as I think you fear, is that universities stop there, and don't take any educational and other steps, relying only on the law. That will not be entirely effective.)
